    ACCREDITATION
    The European Business School, Open Campus of the Irish International University is fully accredited by the University of Cambridge - International Examinations and officially recognised as the Cambridge International Associate Partner.

    A co-worker sent me this link.

    Usually I don't like to talk about sub standard school but this one got me confused. Maybe that’s the purpose :)

    I thought that there was already a Euorpean Business School in London http://www.ebslondon.ac.uk/

    This really confounds the problem. I don't think the Irish International University is a very reputable institution under the guise of the Education Ministry in Ireland, so one should be careful of such claims from such websites.

    The "commendations" are hilarious. At first glance this looks like a page in which illustrious people are praising or thanking the university for their work. But when you look at the letters, they tell a different story. For example, the text of the "Thank You Letter from Richard Balfe, Member of The European Parliament" is as follows:
    • Thank you for the invitation to your third European Graduate on 21st September. I will not be able to attend.

      I will be in London, but putting on "Formal Black Tie" in the middle of a Saturday afternoon is just not possible.
    In other words: thanks, but you must be joking!

    IIU Website

    We are in the process of cleaning up the website which I think leaves much to be desired in terms of content, English, lay out etc. I think there is scope to reduce by two thirds and still have more than sufficient to have a busy site.

    It is difficult to see why some of the letters were put in there in the first place.

    I do not have any executive powers at the IIU but I have volunteered to try to clean up the website. Whether they will agree to swingeing changes remains to be seen.

    I think that most students have gone to the IIU despite the website rather than because of it!
